There's a very real possibility that Jaguar is going to be adding another powerplant to the F-Type's raft of engine choices. Joining the two V6s and the high-output V8 might just be a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-pot, as a more entry-level option. Luckily, we know somebody, who knows somebody, who spied a modified F-Type on the road in Great Britain.

The car in the photos most likely sports the rumored new engine, and biggest clue is the front ride height. A lighter, smaller engine in this mule is causing the nose to ride up slightly. That's a good sign that the corporate turbo four is under the hood. A jury-rigged hood bulge and functional hood vents are another difference from typical factory F-Types.

Jaguar is already employing a 2.0-liter turbo in the XF, which means that it wouldn't be reinventing the wheel by shoehorning it into the F-Type. There have also been rumors of a hybrid setup, but in reality, a turbocharged four-cylinder that is already being used in other Jaguar vehicles seems more likely.

A smaller engine in the F-Type could provide Jaguar with a few benefits to CAFE numbers in this country, import restrictions and duties in other markets, and a lower cost of entry for consumers.
